...blue-gray uniform of Egypt's supreme commander, President Anwar Sadat last week commemorated the fifth anniversary of the October War with an impressive military review in the desert west of the Suez Canal. A bagpipe band skirled It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary, as MiG-21 fighters screamed overhead, and 10,000 Egyptian troops-accompanied by a stunning array of military hardware-paraded under a blistering sun. It was one of modern Egypt's most imposing military displays. Nonetheless, the message was that Anwar Sadat was ready to wage peace, not war-albeit from...
...Pong table stands. Part way down the hall, the party was directed left into Mao's study. He was sitting in a light green overstuffed chair. A nurse helped the 81-year-old Mao stand up and he greeted the Ford family first. He was dressed in a blue-gray tunic and black slippers. His hair was gray but his face was tanned (one American wondered silently if he used a sun lamp in the chilly climes of Peking).

Clearly a lot of TLC went into the staging of Pulcinella, but to uncertain effect. Rouben Ter-Arutunian has tastefully re-created Picasso's costumes and his imposing backdrop-a blue-gray cubist evocation of a moonlit street in 18th century Naples. The vital young Jeffrey dancers, moreover, prance through the one-act ballet as if caught up in a marathon tarantella. But breathing life into this Pulcinella is rather like trying to revive a dead tree by gluing fallen leaves back onto its limbs...
